Daniele, a stockbroker, learns that he has lost a large sum entrusted to him by his friend Giovanni Bensi and he does not have the nerve to tell it in person, so he writes a letter to his friend, telling him that he may collect his life insurance, as he is going to commit suicide – but he can not tell, because he will find a way to make it appear as a misfortune. The insurance policy is valid until midnight, but does not cover suicide. More on IMDB
